Good SATS results for Bristol schools

Today’s provisional Key Stage 2 results were published today, and Bristol schools achieved their best results ever. Although the increase in the percentage of pupils achieving Level 4 or above this year wasn’t huge, it was better than the national average which saw a slight drop. And put it in the context of the past 11 years…. pretty impressive.

In 1998 – 55% achieved Level 4 in English. In 2009 it was 76% (up 21%).In 1998 – 47% achieved Level 4 in Maths. In 2009 it was 74% (up 27% – for those of you who couldn’t pass Key Stage 2!)In 1998 – 59% achieved Level 4 in Science. In 2009 it was 85% (up 26%).

So – not perfect, not something we should be satisfied with – always room for improvement – but worth noting.
